but it's springtime in philadelphia and now a new species has been introduced into his environment. "mad money's" back to school tour returns april 25th. >> boo-yah! >>> lately i've been hearing a lot of talk about how housing can't save the economy. that it's not big enough. that it can't do much to move the needle. i hear the same thing about the oil and gas business. that no matter how much we find, it doesn't put that much to work. and the trade-off of increased use of fossil fuels just isn't worth it. let me see, how can i be polite and diplomatic about all these pessimistic judgments? they're lies. lies keeping the federal government from helping the cause of job creation instead of hindering it. you say housing isn't big enough? we know from retailers and bankers and homeowners, that the $1 towards the purchase of a house can produce another $6 in spending. fix up the yard, make it bigger, gussy up inside. instead, the government's indecision has made it very difficult to get a mortgage, which has kept housing from breaking out to the levels anywhere near where it used to be.
